Analyzing the Green opportunity

I just want to quickly bring Ken Oestreich's analysis of the Green Grid meeting in San Francisco (Day 1 and Day 2), and its aftermath to your attention. Pay special attention to the aftermath post, as it is one of the most well thought out statements of the status and opportunity for the Green Grid organization I have seen.

Ken really knows his stuff with respect to the Green Data Center movement, so if you have any interest in the subject at all, subscribe to his blog. His earlier analysis of DC energy efficiency metrics is an all time classic on the subject.

About Me

James Urquhart is a widely experienced enterprise software field technologist. James started his career programming a manufacturing job tracking system on the Macintosh (circa 1991), and slowly expanded his experience to include distributed systems architectures, online community and identity systems, and most recently utility computing and cloud computing architectures. He has held positions in pre and post sales services, software engineering, product marketing, and program management for the online developer communities of one of the largest developer sites in the world. His admittedly schizophrenic background is driven by a desire to work with technologies that are disruptive, but that simplify computing overall.

James is also an avid blogger. His primary blog, recently renamed "The Wisdom of Clouds" (http://blog.jamesurquhart.com), is focused on utility computing, cloud computing and their effect in enteprises and individuals.

In addition to his online work, James is the father of two children: a son, Owen; and a daughter, Emery; and the husband of the perfect friend and wife, Mia. James lives in Alameda, CA, plays rock and bluegrass guitar.
